Bone Parts Don't Add Up To Conclusion Of Hobbit-like Palauan Dwarfs
27 Aug 18:00
Misinterpreted fragments of leg bones, teeth and brow ridges found in Palau appear to be an archaeologist's undoing, according to researchers at three institutions. They say that the so-called dwarfs of these Micronesian islands actually were modern, normal-sized hunters and gatherers.

Cell Removal Technique Could Lead To Cheaper Drugs
27 Aug 18:00
Costly drugs to treat conditions such as cancer and arthritis could be manufactured more cheaply with a new technique. Researchers have pioneered a simple way to remove dead cells from cell cultures used to make protein-based drugs, which are increasingly prescribed to treat a range of illnesses.

Who am I?
Who am I?
I graduated from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 2000 with a degree in Environmental Science. After graduation, I worked as a summer intern at Theordore Roosevelt National Park as a biological science technician. While counting weeds and fighting forest fires was a great time, I realized that teaching was my true calling and enrolled in a certification program upon my return.I completed my teaching certificate in 2002, and have taught both 8th grade and high school levels during my 6-year career as a science teacher. Currently, I teach biology at Saint Joseph Notre Dame high School in Alameda, California. I have a particular interest in using technology to accelerate and inspire student learning in the science classroom.
